“When I bring my child to The Carpenter's Shop, I leave feeling
completely comfortable, knowing that for the next few hours, he will be
safe and happy; he'll be with people who truly care.”

I like the teacher stability at The Carpenter’s Shop. They have a low

Our Development:
Language:
We continually promote language development by naming
objects, actions, people, places -- just about anything.
The children are encouraged to express themselves verbally
in addition to pointing or motioning.
Fine Motor:
We continue to work on hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity
through games, coloring and dressing ourselves.
Gross Motor:
We promote gross motor development by climbing the indoor
and outdoor play structures. Hopping and
jumping during our daily walks (given appropriate weather) is important too.
Daily Schedule:
Our schedule becomes a bit more structured as 1 year olds
thrive on the consistency of routines which make them feel
safe and secure.
